Amazon Order Resolution Flow
Warning: You are viewing an old version of the DRS docs. To access the new APIs, see Dash Replenishment Overview.
When a device maker uses the Replenish API to reorder products, it is possible for errors to occur that prevent the Amazon order from being fulfilled. Common order related problems include: an incorrect address, an inaccurate payment instrument, or Amazon being temporarily out-of-stock for the reordered product.
In these cases, Amazon will prompt the customer to resolve the issue and direct them to appropriate resources. As a device maker, it is important to understand the Amazon Order Resolution Flow to accommodate your customers.
Successful Order Flow
The following is an example of a successful flow with no order processing issues:
- Device maker replenish API request is received by DRS.
- Device maker receives a 200 OK (StandardOrderPlaced) response.
- Device maker receives an SNS notification for (OrderPlaced).
- Customer receives an email indicating an order was created.
- Customer has 24 hours to cancel or modify the order.
- Further replenish API calls get 200 OK (OrderInProgress) response until the item has been delivered.
